As I travel the state and see the zillion road projects (mostly needless) I am mystified at how sloppy and poorly handled the construction sites are. The recent actions by the legislature to give the road builders and consultants a red carpet to our road projects is a travesty and appears to be aiding in these messy, dangerous areas. More and more I see zero effort to properly block off construction areas as roads are realigned during construction leading to folks driving off the active road and into the sites at night. Also we have so many road projects going on that the road builders are using the same employees and equipment at various sites often leaving sites empty of anyone, despite the “work zone” area.

I’m a flag waving American. But, these days, find our UK conservative friends across the pond are facing many of the same battles we fave here.

Their outcomes can help us know or understand our outcomes and vice versa. I follow UK politics pretty closely. With that thought comes this:

After the pummeling by the Supreme Court Boris Johnson, i n his disheveled way, valiantly returned to Parliament today and knocked it out of the park. Of course, that means it went over the heads of Jeremy Corbyn and his Labour lot.

Stumbled upon an obscure 2018 Asian cartoonish film, ‘Boonie Bears: Big Shrink’. Thought it was OK until a bad guy described as a “Golden haired buzzard” that wants to take everything “from us all” appeared.
